Friend's Ranches

Welcome to Friend's Ranches, where we take pride in producing premium citrus fruits in the scenic Ojai Valley. Our heritage stretches back over a century, marked by our dedication to growing exceptional fruit. With a legacy carried on by multiple family generations, we continue to evolve while maintaining our steadfast commitment to quality.

Located a short drive from the heart of Ojai, our packinghouse operates throughout the year on Tuesday and Friday mornings. During these times, we invite you to visit and purchase our diverse offering of Ojai citrus directly from us. While GPS may not always guide you perfectly due to limited service along Hwy 33, simply follow the road's stunning views and spot our prominent warehouse situated just beyond the first temporary traffic signal.

Currently, February 2025 is an exciting month for our tangerine varieties – from Dancy to Daisy. Despite nature's capricious weather affecting some harvests, we're delighted to offer our staples like Tahoe Gold and Clementines alongside other citrus like Navel and Blood oranges. Additionally, indulge in our tasty honey and pick up some Ojai Pixie branded items.

We're eager to share our citrus bounty beyond Ojai as well, with an efficient mail order system shipping fruits every Monday. Orders placed until Friday noon must be surface-shipped considering both Ojai’s weather and the destination’s climate. Watch out in March as our renowned Ojai Pixies come into season, with sales kicking off by the month's start.

While we can't permit u-pick for insurance and health reasons, we're excited about being part of three farmers' markets in Southern California, offering a year-round selection. Our endeavor is fueled by your passion for our fruit, ensuring that we cultivate what truly delights our customers.
